Expose it in the papers and programme etc then
This has come up time and again yet the uptake has always been poor.
Even mentioned this the last two years to the club but no heed was taken.
I eagerly await the repsonse of Clubman to this one!!
Oh the silence is deafening, musnt be a bash the supporters who go to the Showgies day today.
This is a regular source of income for a lot of clubs.
It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to come up with a sponsorship package. For example,
The sponsor could receive an autographed jersey, which was worn by the player during the season.
Be listed on a special sponsorship page in each programme.
If the sponsor was a company, a single page profile of the company could be done in a match programme during the season.
The sponsors company could be announced over the PA system as the team is been named.
The company’s logo could be used alongside a picture of the player.
The company’s name and logo could be listed on our website.
The player could be available to the company for 1 or 2 days during the season for promotions etc.
A seat could be reserved. There are lots of little things that could be done.
Depending on the package, the cost of the sponsorship could vary between €500 & €1000.
It would be a better deal for the club than selling 15-year season tickets for SFA. It was obvious at the AGM that the members were not happy, and did not want the MC to sell our future for what is a very short-term gain.
All good incentives in their own right but surely you're not thinking of offering them all together in the one package for a miserable 500/1000 euro?Quote:

Realistically to make the plan work to it's optimum the club would need to be to the good to the value of 90,000. It all comes back to the geographical position of the club. The northwest doesn't have the catchment area like the bigger clubs to pull in advertising revenue. The club has bled the local business comunity practically dry and that's the bottom line. Go to a business in Sligo and ask them for 1000 euro to sponsor a player and they'll laugh at you, don't believe me then pick one and try. The majority of business already help out in one way or another anyway beit being members of the 400 club, ground signage, golf classic, match sponsorship. Basically the well is dry.
This is just 2 shopping centres in town. How many of these names are familer to the Showgrounds?Quote:

Goin gaway from player sponsership a little...another decent idea.
If you were to get a fund raising initiative going weekly in pubs around the town. A chart with lets say 50 spaces for names could be drawn up. Each space could cost say 5 e. Each week there will be a draw with one number pulled and the winner recieves <insert prize here > ... maybe tickets to a game etc.... if you got as many pubs do put one up behind the bar as possible,and im sure most wont have any objectiions,it could be a nice little earner. say hypothetically you fill even 10 cards, thats about 2500 per week. I know it might have its flaws but i just thought it might be something that could be worked on and would be a little earner alongside the lotto.
Also is it true Boco will be on E1500 per week?:ball:
the player sponsor scheme is back from this month on
good idea biscuit. go ahead and do it. im not being smart here i am currently helping club out with lotto plus and we are getting funds in but this money is being used to pay outstanding bills from last year. some very good ideas here but we need those people with the ideas to execute them. will you take it on ? will some people give you a hand to take it on. we will wait and see.
red arrow i would - but my new career path will see me generally unavailable for the next 6-9 months:eek:. I can give a detailed descripton to anyone who ants to try and run withit though!
